Re: VMware and bridged networking

[Rick Macdonald <rickmacd@home.com>]

In the VMWare setup, there is one dialog where you can choose bridging AND
host-only (checkbuttons), but a second dialog where you must choose one or
the other (radio buttons). You must choose bridging, not host-only.

Here is what DHCP sets for routes and ifconfig. You shouldn't have to use
DHCP, but in the end yours should look very similar, I would think.
